Gordon is trying to save up $2000 for a new saxophone he makes 12.50 per hour at his job at the coffee shop but he needs to set aside half of his hourly wage to pay his regular bills How many 40-hour weeks will he need to work before he can afford the saxophone?

A. 320 Weeks
B. 40 Weeks
C. 8 Weeks
D. 6.25 Weeks

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks.

Explanation:

since gordon has to set aside half of his wage to pay his bills, he can only save $12.50 ÷ 2 = $6.25 for the saxophone.

we can find how much money gordon saves from a 40-hour week by multiplying this by 40: $6.25 × 40 = $250.

now, divide the total amount of money he has to save by the amount he saves each week: $2000 ÷ $250 = 8.

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks before he can afford the saxophone.

i hope this helps! :D

A sales and marketing management magazine conducted a survey on salespeople cheating on their

expense reports and other unethical conduct. In the survey on 200 managers, 58% of the managers

have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report, 50% have caught salespeople working a

second job on company time, 22% have caught salespeople listing a "strip bar" as a restaurant on an

2 expense report, and 19% have caught salespeople giving a kickback to a customer.

construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population

3 proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report is (0.5116, 0.6484).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

In the survey on 200 managers, 58% of the managers have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report.

This means that [tex]n = 200, \pi = 0.58[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.58 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.58*0.42}{200}} = 0.5116[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.58 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.58*0.42}{200}} = 0.6484[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report is (0.5116, 0.6484).

Jarred went to the bookstore,
He bought a softcover book which was on sale for 10%
off. He spent $18 on the book, What was the original
price?

Answers

Answer:

the original price of the book is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

sometimes in a question, they put things in the question that don't actually help us get to the answer. usually we ignore it, but i'm going to list them out just to help you a bit more.

Things that are useless:

his name is Jarred (his name could be gary, it doesn't affect us getting the answer)he went to a bookstore (he could've gone to the library, it wont affect us getting to the answer)the book is softcover (it could be any type of book, wont affect us getting to the answer)the item is a book (it could be anything that he bought, wont affect us getting to the answer.)

Things that are helpful:

the book was on sale (helps us know that the price was reduced)the book was on sale 10% (helps us know how much it was reduced by)he spent $18 for the reduced price (helps us know how much he spent)

Ok, now that we know those, let's work on the question.

let b be the original book price

we need to find 10% so we have to use 90% (because 100 - 10 = 90)

if we needed to find 20% we would use 80% (because 100 - 20 = 80)

and so on.

  90% of b = 18    (90% of the og. book price equals 18)

90/100 × b = 18    (write a correct equation and make the percent a fraction)

    9/10 × b = 18    (simplify both sides of the equation)

         9 × b = 180  (multiply both sides of the equation to get rid of fraction)

               b = 20   (divide both sides of the equ. to get b by itself)

the original price of the book is $20

hope this helped :D

A car gets 32 miles per gallon . The function is d(x) = 32x represents the distance d(x) , in miles , that the car can’t travel with x gallons of gasoline. The tank holds 17 gallons.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Domain: [0,17][/tex]

[tex]Range:[0,544][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]d(x) = 32x[/tex]

Maximum gallon = 17

Required

Determine the domain and range --- This completes the question

If the maximum is 17 (i.e. at full capacity) then the minimum is 0 (i.e. when empty)

So, the domain is:

[tex]Domain: [0,17][/tex]

To calculate the range, substitute 0 and 17 for x in [tex]d(x) = 32x[/tex]

[tex]d(0) = 32 * 0 = 0[/tex]

[tex]d(17) = 32 * 17 = 544[/tex]

So, the range is:

[tex]Range:[0,544][/tex]

A function y(t) satisfies the differential equation dy dt = y4 − 10y3 + 24y2. (a) What are the constant solutions of the equation? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) y = (b) For what values of y is y increasing? (Enter your answer in interval notation.) y (c) For what values of y is y decreasing? (Enter your answer in interval notation.) y

Answers

Answer:

[tex](a)\ y =0\ or\ y=4\ or\ y=6[/tex]

[tex](b) \ (-\infty,4)\ u\ (6,\infty)[/tex]

[tex](c)\ (4,6)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

Solving (a): The constants

This implies that:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2 = 0[/tex]

Factorize:

[tex]y^2(y^2 - 10y + 24) = 0[/tex]

Expand and Factorize the expression in bracket

[tex]y^2(y^2 - 6y - 4y + 24) = 0[/tex]

[tex]y^2(y(y - 6) - 4(y - 6)) = 0[/tex]

[tex]y^2(y - 4)(y - 6) = 0[/tex]

Split

[tex]y^2 =0\ or\ y-4=0\ or\ y-6=0[/tex]

Solve for y

[tex]y =0\ or\ y=4\ or\ y=6[/tex]

The above represents the constants

Solving (b): Increasing values

Here

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} > 0[/tex]

Follow the same process in (a) but replace all = with >

i.e.

[tex]y^2(y - 4)(y - 6) > 0[/tex]

[tex]y >0\ or\ y>4\ or\ y>6[/tex]

Test the values of each inequality

For [tex]y > 6[/tex]; say [tex]y = 7[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 24*7^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 147[/tex]

[tex]147 > 0[/tex]

This is true for [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} > 0[/tex];  This implies that: [tex](6, \infty)[/tex]

For [tex]y > 4[/tex] Say [tex]y = 5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 24*5^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = -25[/tex]

This is false:

Say [tex]y = 3[/tex] i.e. [tex]y < 4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 24*3^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 27[/tex]

[tex]27 > 0[/tex]

This is true for [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} > 0[/tex]. This implies that: [tex](0,4)[/tex]

For [tex]y > 0[/tex]

[tex]y > 0[/tex] implies that: [tex]y < 4[/tex]

For [tex]y < 0[/tex] say [tex]y = -1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = (-1)^4 - 10*(-1)^3 + 24*(-1)^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 35[/tex]

This is true for [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} > 0[/tex]. This implies that [tex](-\infty, 0)[/tex]

We have: [tex](-\infty,0), (0,4)\ and\ (6,\infty)[/tex]

[tex](-\infty,0)\ and\ (0,4)[/tex] can be combined to give: [tex](-\infty,4)[/tex]

So, the interval is: [tex](-\infty,4)\ u\ (6,\infty)[/tex]

Solving (c): Decreasing values

Here

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} < 0[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]y^2(y - 4)(y - 6) < 0[/tex]

[tex]y <0\ or\ y<4\ or\ y<6[/tex]

Test the values of each inequality

For [tex]y < 6[/tex]; say [tex]y = 5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 24*5^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = -25[/tex]

This is true for [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} < 0[/tex];  This implies that: [tex](\infty,6)[/tex]

For [tex]y < 4[/tex]; say [tex]y = 3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 24*3^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 27[/tex]

This is false

Say [tex]y = 5[/tex] i.e.  [tex]y > 4[/tex]

This is the same as: [tex]y < 6[/tex]

So, we have the interval to be: [tex](4,\infty)[/tex]

For [tex]y < 0[/tex] say [tex]y = -1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = (-1)^4 - 10*(-1)^3 + 24*(-1)^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 35[/tex]

This is false

Say [tex]y = 2[/tex] i.e [tex]y > 0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = y^4 - 10y^3 + 24y^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 24*2^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 32[/tex]

This is also false

So, the intervals are: [tex](4,\infty)[/tex] and [tex](\infty,6)[/tex].

This can be merged as: [tex](4,6)[/tex]

Hence, the interval for [tex]\frac{dy}{dt} < 0[/tex] is [tex](4,6)[/tex]

Population of a country in year 1995 = 286

Model that expresses the growth rate of the population is,

P(t) = [tex]286(1.009)^{t-1995}[/tex]

Here, t = year

a). For P = 311 million people

   311 = [tex]286(1.009)^{t-1995}[/tex]

   [tex]\text{log}(\frac{311}{286})=\text{log}(1.009)^{t-1995}[/tex]

   log(311) - log(286) = (t - 1995)log(1.009)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) If 20% of b is added to b, you have ...

  b + 0.20b = 1.2b

__

(b) Similarly, if 40% of h is added to h, you have ...

  1.4h

(c) The area of the new rectangle is the product of the new dimensions:

  A = (1.2b)(1.4h)

  A = 1.68bh

__

(d) The original rectangle area is A = bh, so the percentage change can be computed as ...

  (A'/A -1)×100% = ((1.68bh)/(bh) -1)×100% = (1.68 -1)×100% = 68%

The given increases in base and height increase the area by 68%.
